Michael Bublé’s festive fanfare finally hits the top on this week’s ARIA Chart wrap.
Michael Buble Christmas
It’s Christmas crooning time, as Michael Bublé’s Christmas album finally tops the chart after five weeks.
Otherwise, it was a pretty slow week on the charts. Both of these indicators suggest that we won’t see much action until January.
Brit boyband One Direction debuted at number five, then we have to go all the way down to number 30 for the next new entry – Taylor Swift’s Speak Now World Tour Live.
Then, all the way down at 43 is the Michael Jackson reimagining album Immortal and at 44 the Judith Durham Colours Of My Life compilation.
The ARIAs had a massive effect, rocketing Boy & Bear back to 11 from 45, Gotye climbed back up to 12 from 16 and Kimbra’s Vows came back from 47 to 36.
Christmas has been good for Chris Tomlin, whose Glory In The Highest worship songs collection came back in at 33 and the Foo Fighters tour brought Wasting Light back to 34.
The biggest slump of the week was from sensitive Canadian rapper Drake, whose second album Take Care plummeted from 15 to 46 in its second week.
Reece Mastin holds number one on the Singles Chart for the second week, and Gotye’s evergreen ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ shot back up to 7 from 19.
But Christmas grows ever closer and, since Adele’s 21 is right up against Bublé this week, we’re betting that it’ll be number one again, probably until January.
